What I Did On Spring Break

I've had a wonderful couple of days...Mom and Don have been here to share Easter and Emma's First Communion. The weather has been pretty great, with a rainy day on the day we planned to go to a show at Ford's Theater. In between I've been able to sneak out to my new favorite place...it might look like a garage, but actually it's a lampworking studio :-)

No kiln yet - using insulating blankets for now. So far none have broken...

I even tried making a hallow one - the tealish one in the middle of the back. My attempts at making disks ended up curved in so I decided to go with it. I am completely lame at dots...with more practice I suppose I'll get it figured out. Hope everyone has a good Monday :-)

I think that white one w/ the blue dots shows that you are definitely NOT lame at dots! It's really good! I love all the colors and the variety of beads. You're doing great at this and I can hardly believe you're a novice!
